Note: This article is not talking about deterministic builds (which are a prerequisite for reproducible builds), but specifically reproducible builds.
Reproducible builds are generally speaking interesting only from a security perspective, while deterministic builds have all sorts of useful infrastructural features which the author agrees are useful.
And if you think I'm being pedantic, I'm using the official terminology from the reproducible builds site[0].
